Diseases are technically normal [[Status Effects]], but they are never shown to the player on the sidebar as other effects are. A player must notice the cues by paying attention to the message box in order to tell whether they have been infected.

'''Body armor''' is a piece of [[armor]] that covers the torso of the [[player]]. It is one of the most important pieces of armor, as most of the enemy attacks will end up damaging your torso.

This disease will abuse the player's [[attributes]] over time and, most importantly, will cause limbs to drop off one by one in random intervals. Leprosy is mostly associated with [[zombie]]s, as they all carry it and will occasionally infect the player through their attacks.
+
'''Chain mail''' is the lighter, more flexible armor. With comparable [[materials]], it will have slightly lower AV than plate mail, but will also weight less and have lesser penalties to [[Dex]] and [[Agi]]. However, as chain mail only generates made of metals, you can frequently find much lighter "plate mail" made of flexible materials such as [[leather]] - though the AV of such light armor will be very low.

You can contract leprosy from the following sources:
+
=== Plate Mail ===
  
−
* Eating meat infected with leprosy (ie. severed limbs or [[corpse]]s of any infected [[monster]]).
+
'''Plate mail''' can actually either be called "plate mail" if made of any metal, or simply "armor" if made of a different material (eg. "leather armor" is still "plate mail" type armor).
−
* Being attacked by any [[zombie]].
 
−
* Putting back an infected body part.
 
−
* Angering [[Scabies]] with your prayers.
 
  
−
Leprosy can be cured by drinking [[antidote liquid]], by any [[Priest]] or through a prayer to [[Seges]]. Also, leprosy is tracked for each limb individually, so reattaching an infected limb (for example if you lose an arm due to leprosy, cure the leprosy by paying a priest and then let the priest reattach the infected arm) will infect you again.
+
Plate mail is stronger, heavier and less flexible than chain mail, giving it higher AV but also higher penalties to [[Dex]] and [[Agi]]. Plate mails made of metal will have very high AV, but will probably burden any character without massive [[LStr]]. On the other hand, plate mails are also frequently found made of light flexible materials and such armors will be even lighter than chain mails, though their AV will be also considerably lower than of any metal armor.
  
−
''You are not falling to pieces anymore.''
+
However, if you can obtain a plate mail made of one of the better flexible materials (eg. [[Angel Hair]] or [[Spider Silk]]), those have the best qualities of any normal armor found in the game - they have high AV, low weight and next to no [[attribute]] penalties.

This disease will [[polymorph]] you into a [[Werewolf]] occasionally. Obviously, being bitten by a werewolf can cause this, but it can also be contracted by eating werewolf flesh or as a magic effect from drinking [[fountain]] water. It can only be removed by any [[priest]], but it will '''not''' be removed by [[antidote liquid]].

Body armor is a piece of armor that covers the torso of the player. It is one of the most important pieces of armor, as most of the enemy attacks will end up damaging your torso.


Types of Body Armor

Chain Mail

Chain mail is the lighter, more flexible armor. With comparable materials, it will have slightly lower AV than plate mail, but will also weight less and have lesser penalties to Dex and Agi. However, as chain mail only generates made of metals, you can frequently find much lighter "plate mail" made of flexible materials such as leather - though the AV of such light armor will be very low.

Plate Mail

Plate mail can actually either be called "plate mail" if made of any metal, or simply "armor" if made of a different material (eg. "leather armor" is still "plate mail" type armor).

Plate mail is stronger, heavier and less flexible than chain mail, giving it higher AV but also higher penalties to Dex and Agi. Plate mails made of metal will have very high AV, but will probably burden any character without massive LStr. On the other hand, plate mails are also frequently found made of light flexible materials and such armors will be even lighter than chain mails, though their AV will be also considerably lower than of any metal armor.

However, if you can obtain a plate mail made of one of the better flexible materials (eg. Angel Hair or Spider Silk), those have the best qualities of any normal armor found in the game - they have high AV, low weight and next to no attribute penalties.

Magical Body Armor

Artifact Body Armor

Variants

CLIVAN

The CLIVAN variant of the game adds several new body armors:

  • the Dragon Cuirass, which is essentially a thicker, heavier, stronger and indestructible body armor with spiked shoulders and
  • the Shirt of the Golden Jaguar, which gives the wearer telecontrol, polycontrol and haste along with AV 14, and can be found in the Vault in Kharaz-Arad.
